Wish I had......

I am really regretting not having a scrub plane to deal with the rough sawn timber, the planing process is going slowly very slowly. It makes me appreciate the guys who did this and had no alternative. I just read a post about using the no5 plane as a scrub by angling the blade for a deep triangular cut then angling it the other way and repeating finally straightening it and taking off the humps. In theory it sounds good but I'm beat will be a few days before I can face the planing. My hand swelled up on the thumb joint and my arms ache. I'm going to cool off and put my feet up. Here's another favourite song to keep you going while I'm away.
